3. Microwave for a total of 2 minutes. When the it's puffy and translucent, the gyuuhi is done..
4. Make the shiro-an (white bean paste): Combine the dried an powder and sugar, and add water little by little while mixing well. Microwave for 3 minutes at 600 W..
5. When the shiro-an is the consistency of mashed potatoes it's done. Add the gyuuhi to this and mix and knead together well with a spatula..
6. Microwave for 1 minute at 600 W. This is nerikiri. Rip it into small pieces and spread out the pieces on a tightly wrung out moistened kitchen towel..
7. Bring all the pieces together by wrapping the cloth around them and knead well. Repeat Steps 6 and 7 three times..
8. Divide the nerikiri into 3 portions plus a small portion..

12. Add yellow food coloring to the last tiny bit of nerikiri, and pass it through a sieve..
13. Spread out one piece of nerikiri onto the moistened kitchen towel. Put some umeboshi flavored nerikiri-an in the middle, and wrap the spread out nerikiri..
14. Form the nerikiri using a chopstick and/or a spoon and so on. Put a little yellow nerikiri in the middle..
15. The nerikiri can also be formed into little squeezed 'chakin' dumpling shapes. Either nerikiri will be colorful and pretty formed in this way. (Wrap a little nerikiri in a tightly wrung out moistened kitchen towel or a piece of plastic wrap and twist tightly to form a dumpling shape.).
